1. We’ve done the sums, and less than £2.50 is a price of £2.35 per student per week. This £2.35 is based upon a class of 30 getting: an iPad 5th Gen, 32GB and rugged case each; all with an extended warranty so they’re covered for 3 years; an MDM license for each iPad for 3 years and a 30 bay charging unit for the iPads. We can also cost up bespoke solutions with additional options like VPP credit and APL days for the 3 years. Any additional cables, Wi-Fi and infrastructure additions or upgrades and associated costs are not included in the per pupil per week pricing of this solution and could incur additional charges. Prices correct for the above solution as of May 2018.


Empower your educators with Apple Professional Learning

Apple Professional Learning (APL) is a tailored form of CPD that’ll cover topics your staff will benefit from. The only “standard” APL course we offer is Educational Strategic Planning. We highly recommend it for schools who want to deploy a large number of Apple devices in their learning environment.

This two day course is designed to help you and your school’s leadership team to outline the vision and goals you have for your students and staff. This in turn will help you create an action plan and strategy for the use of technology in your classrooms. But even this is all about your learning environment and what you want to achieve.

Apple Professional Learning Providers

Think of this as face-to-face, contextualised Apple Teacher. Your staff can earn the badges they would with the online version, but the content is tailored to your school or college. They’ll progress through in-depth and supported learning. If you have teachers who are new to Apple technology or lack confidence, this is a great way to get them upskilled. Not only can they go at their own pace, ask questions and learn from someone who’s collected all their badges already, it’ll feel more inclusive and less daunting than self-guided learning that they’d have to try and find time for in their busy teaching and planning schedules.

Apple Professional Learning Specialists

Specialists offer coaching, mentoring and help your school drive innovation on premise. If your leadership team are serious about supporting their Apple investment, invest in this form of APL as a professional learning programme. The aim of these completely bespoke sessions is to help your departments and teams think more deeply about transformational teaching. We want to help you reach your goals and support you to meet the needs of your staff, students and entire learning environment. Apple Professional Learning will help you make Apple technology part of your school’s strategy and infrastructure.

In addition to APL, Apple offers fantastic free iBook resources that you can use to make your lessons as engaging as possible. Take a look at our ASE hub to discover our favourites: bt.com/businessdirect/edu/Apple

BT’s Tech Literacy programmes can offer a wider variety of free teaching resources too.

From the Barefoot CAS, to Cyber Discovery, to STEM Crew, to our Work Ready programme, we support young people of all ages to become Tech Literate and learn more about how technology supports the world around them. bt.com/businessdirect/edu/TechLit

You don’t have to worry about Apple ID in the same way. Apple School Manager lets you automatically create Managed Apple IDs for all students and staff by importing the necessary data. And because Managed Apple IDs are owned and assigned by your organisation, you can easily reset passwords, audit accounts and define roles for everyone in the school.

ClassroomA powerful tool to enhance learning and guide students through lessons

Support students and keep them on track with features designed to help you quickly guide learning. Help students embrace collaboration and share the great work they’ve done. Be empowered by options that mean you’re less reliant on your IT team.

Maximise the value of your Apple investment

When it comes to getting your IT foundations right, you can trust an expert at BT. From your internet connectivity to your wireless network provision, we understand exactly how technology should underpin operational goals in the education sector.

We can design, implement and optimise wired and wireless networks for robust and reliable performance - with built-in security of course. Add this to Apple School Manager and an MDM solution and you’ll have a robust, secure network that can grow and develop alongside your Apple solution.

A variety of MDM solutions are available depending on your specific needs and budget

Apple MDM platforms

Cross platform solutions

Mobile Device Management (MDM)

An MDM solution will enable you to integrate your Device Enrolment Plan, Apple School Manager and Volume Purchase Programme all in one location. It supports 1:1 device roll-outs, including supporting a BYOD strategy and it’ll help you unify the way your devices look and operate.

Whichever MDM solution you choose, it’ll help you structure the design of your Apple Classroom roll-out to make it even easier to manage.

MDM is perfect for schools who have, or are planning a large device roll-out. MDM solutions are particularly beneficial to multi-academy trusts because you can centrally manage all your devices, whilst still being able to create a more personal profile for each school.
